Chicks On Speed And The Noheads - Press The Space Bar (2004)

This is the third album by German art-punk trio Chicks On Speed. Press The Spacebar sees them radically turn away from the electro-clash approach they are often and to their dismay associated with. COS team up with producer Cristian Vogel (best-known for his work with Super Collider and his solo works on Novamute, Mille Plateaux or Tresor) and a band from Barcelona called The No Heads to deliver their most collective and psychedelic record to date. A record that will remind people of The Raincoats, Sonic Youth, The Pixies, Violent Femmes, The Bangles, Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, Bananarama, Bongwater, ESG, The Slits or Nina Hagen, and which is still impossible to place anywhere.
